Nick
Pope has written five books (three non-fiction titles and two science
fiction
novels), all of which are international best-sellers, and have been
translated
into many different languages.

Encounter in Rendlesham Forest

Over a series of
three nights in December 1980 an extraordinary series of UFO incidents
took
place in Rendlesham Forest in the UK, next to the twin United States
Air Force
bases of Bentwaters and Woodbridge. This was not some vague sighting of
lights
in the sky, but a controlled landing and take-off. The UFO was tracked
on
military radar and left physical evidence at the landing site,
including damage
and scorch marks on trees, indentations in the frozen ground, and
abnormally
high levels of radiation. The UFO was seen by dozens of military
witnesses,
including the Deputy Base Commander. The object fired light beams at
some of
the men and, later, into the Weapons Storage Area, where some military
personnel based there at the time allege that nuclear weapons were
kept.
Encounter in Rendlesham Forest tells the extraordinary story of the
world’s
most compelling and best-evidenced UFO incident – a case that is more
significant than the infamous Roswell Incident. Co-written by former UK
government UFO investigator Nick Pope, with John Burroughs and Jim
Penniston,
the two military witnesses at the heart of these encounters, this
disturbing
and compelling book tells the inside story of what really happened, and
lifts
the lid on the true role played by government, the military and the
intelligence
community in relation to the UFO phenomenon. This controversial new
book is
largely based on recently declassified government documents and is the
only UFO
book ever to have needed security clearance from both the British and
American
governments. Encounter in Rendlesham Forest will leave you questioning
everything you thought you knew about the UFO mystery.

"Full of paranoia about the government - not
all of it, or even most of it, unwarranted."

The Washington Post

“Pope’s questions and detailed evidence certainly
give readers on both sides of the UFO debate plenty to chew on.”

Publishers
Weekly

“This is probably the most well-documented UFO
incident ever. Author Nick Pope had full cooperation from two of the
main
eye-witnesses and also gathered a lot of previously unseen material
through the
Freedom of Information Act. This is a well-researched, well-written,
fascinating explication of the events.”

San
Francisco Book
Review

"A well-researched, well-written, fascinating explication of the events."City Book Review

"Something very, very strange happened in that forest, and this powerful book shines a clear light into that mystery."Whitley Strieber, author of Communion

“Read this book and you will be convinced that we
are not alone in the Cosmos. It will open your mind to ‘the broader
reality’
that holds so much promise if we only embrace it positively.”

Paul
T. Hellyer,
Former Defence Minister of Canada

“This work is a vitally important addition to the
growing acceptance of UFO visitations to Earth.”

An overview of the UFO mystery, written by the
man who used to run
the British Government's UFO project. This is a true insider's account
of the
phenomenon, and lifts the lid not just on classic cases like Roswell
and the
Rendlesham Forest incident, but on less well known cases too. This
groundbreaking and highly controversial book highlights cases
from the US,
the UK, and the rest of the world, with Nick drawing on his firsthand
government experience to reveal what the authorities really
know and think
about UFOs, alien abductions, crop circles and animal
mutilations. Open
Skies Closed Minds was featured on Newsnight, serialized in the Daily
Mail and
reached number three in the hardback non-fiction list, staying in the
top ten
for ten weeks.

"Pope's is the first book on UFOs from someone
with
inside knowledge
and access to Top Secret material."

The Sunday Times

"If you have the slightest interest in
unidentified flying objects,
you owe it to yourself to read what Nick Pope has to say."

The Independent

"A provocative book, written in a reasoned,
dispassionate
manner."Review of Books

Former UK Government UFO investigator Nick
Pope has written
the definitive book on the alien abduction mystery, delving into
folklore, the
contactee movement, and more modern claims that people have
not just seen
UFOs, but encountered extraterrestrials. The Uninvited also examines
the reaction of governments, and of the scientific
community, as well
as examining the world's most famous alien contact cases, and
highlighting
the common threads that bind them together. Nick Pope devotes a
significant
portion of the book to detailing a number of cases that he
investigated
personally, before drawing things together by discussing the various
theories
that might explain what lies behind this fascinating mystery.

"Has the understated authority a reader would
expect from the
man who acted as the official investigator into UFO sightings for the
British
Ministry of Defence. Lacking the hysteria of so many other books on the
genre,
Pope's report takes the high road."

Publishers Weekly

"A good read, and raises some thought-provoking
issues."Focus (Ministry of Defence in-house magazine)

In this science fiction techno-thriller, former
Ministry of
Defence employee Nick Pope blends what he knows about political
decision-making
and warfighting with knowledge and experience gained on the
British
Government's UFO project. The result is an alien invasion novel packed
with
insights into real-world military strategy, tactics and hardware,
making for a
terrifyingly real account. The tagline for this controversial book was
"The truth can only be told in fiction", and this led to much
speculation in the UFO and conspiracy theory community, especially when
it
emerged that the manuscript of Operation Thunder Child had gone through
the
government’s security clearance procedure. Film/TV rights are available.

This book and the prequel, Operation Thunder Child, are the only two
science
fiction novels ever to have gone through the British Government’s
security
vetting procedure, on the basis that Nick Pope was involved not just in
official government research and investigation into the UFO phenomenon,
but in
highly classified work on the Gulf War and other sensitive operations.
Operation Lightning Strike is a fast-paced action thriller
written in the
style of Tom Clancy, but dealing with themes more commonly found in The
X-Files. If you want to know what would really happen if we faced an
alien invasion,
this book tells the story. Film/TV rights are available.
